Corsage Making

[kaydee]

You can preserve flowers by brushing them with gum arabic or egg white & then dipping them in caster sugar. A bit quaint now but they make nice cake decorations.Used to be used to preserve wedding flowers. Lots on google about it if you want to investigate.

I used florist tape and ribbon to join the flowers together and the ribbon was tied onto a bangle or bracelet which I got from one of the dollar shops. Then joined the flowers onto the ribbon and onto the bracelet.

Thanks Tasha. I don't know if I'll have the patience but I'd like to try it.

Lol, maybe some truth in the big bust theory but I worked on mine thinking that it would have to stand out from crowd of girls wearing one. It did stand out and the dainty hand that wore it looked beautiful.

I'm sure it did look lovely. My youngest son has been married twice and both times I wore a little corsage made into a bracelet type....really nice, too. I do however hope there's not a third opportunity to wear one!!!!!

hahahaha, you never can tell! A least you would have good practice in wearing them.
